I We have had an extra long win- ter here, but not much snow. The ? prospects for water this summer do f not look very good on account of i the light snows in the mountains, t Spring is here and farming ha . started. j Although the depression has ji been bad in other parts of the country, the Snake River valley I has been hit as lightly as any- l where. Business has been going i along about the same as ever. I The size of the average farm I here la about 80 acres, all irrigat- j ed.
